Select the incorrect statement with reference to the Vedic sacrifice from the following :
It is not the case that, the result of the sacrifice is produced by an inherent potency—the apurva
The first statement is correct: for Mimamsa the sacrifice is enjoined by the Veda through vidhi (injunction), and that is the source of dharma.
The second statement is correct: Mimamsa treats the deities as mere names occurring in the mantras; the sacrifice is what matters, and the gods serve only as elements needed for its proper performance.
The third statement is incorrect: Mimamsa explicitly holds that the result of the sacrifice is produced through apurva, an unseen potency generated by the act that persists until it bears fruit at a later time. Denying apurva contradicts the Mimamsa view.
The fourth statement is correct: among the many kinds of rites (nitya, naimittika, kamya), kamya karmas are performed for fulfilling the desire of the sacrificer, such as heaven (svargakamo yajeta).
Hence, the answer is It is not the case that, the result of the sacrifice is produced by an inherent potency—the apurva.
